About Cheetos

Cheetos are a popular snack made from cornmeal and flavored with a variety of seasonings, most notably cheese or cheese-like powder. Originating in the United States in the mid-20th century, this crunchy treat has become a staple in American snacking culture and is enjoyed worldwide. Key ingredients include enriched cornmeal, vegetable oils, artificial and natural flavors, and a mix of additives for texture and taste. While Cheetos are appreciated for their bold flavor and satisfying crunch, they are high in calories, fats, and sodium, which may pose health risks if consumed in excess. Additionally, the snack is low in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. It is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, as its nutritional profile lacks significant health benefits beyond providing quick energy.
